IMPROVEMENT IN FENCES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. l`26,362, dated April30, 1872.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ROBERT H. WHITE, of Billingsville, in the county ofUnion and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Farm-Fences; and I do hereby declare that the followingis a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had tothe accompanying drawing and to the letters of reference marked thereon,which form a part of `this specification.

My invention relates particularly to that class of fences in which thepanels are made separate from each other, each panel being a whole byitself; and it consists inthe construction and arrangement ot' theconnections between said panels, as will be hereinafter more lfully setforth.

In order to enable others skilled in the art to which my inventionappertains to make and use the same, I will now proceed to describe itsconstruction and operation, referring to the annexed drawing, in which-Figure l represents a side elevation, and Fig. 2 is a plan view of myfence.

, A A represent two fence-panels, constructed in the ordinary way ofhorizontal boards connected at their ends and center by vertical bars,or in any other suitable manner. B B are the connections between thepanels A A, there being two or more of such connections at each end ofeach panel. The connection B is made of wire or other suitable material,

bent in the middle, so as to form a double ring, a, and the ends of thewire fastened in staples b b, attached to the end bars, one| on eachside of the fence-panel. When the two panels are put together, thedouble rings of the corresponding connections are put together so as tointerlock, and then a pin or rod, d, is passed through which joins thepanels together, forming a zigzag fence.

By means of these connections the fence may readily be taken down andput up again, when desired.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new7 anddesire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The fence-panel connection B, made of wire or other suitablematerial, forming a double ring, a, in the center, and the ends fastenedin staples b b attached to the panel, substantially as herein set forth.

2. The combination of fence-panels A A, connections B B, with centralinterlocking double rings a a, staples b b, and pins orrods d d, allsubstantially as and for the purposes herein set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I affix my signaturein presence of two witnesses.V

ROBERT H. WHITE.
